How To Re-Initialize The Hard Drive on DVR
ADVERTS 1
This was sent to me... have not tried it... for Re-Initializing the HDD on your Dishnet receiver
Note: only try this as a last resort...SELECT THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS (works with Dish 522 and some other
receivers)
1. Menu
2. 6
3. 3 (the Diagnostic screen should appear)
4. Info
5. Right button
6. Left button (screen filled with hexadecimal figures should
appear)
7. Play
8. Play
9. Recall (message saying that the hard drive will be
re-initialized)Last edited by dfergie; 05-16-2007 at 12:40 PM. Reason: add disclaimer
